Data Stewards Interest Group meeting

14 June 2019 SURF, Utrecht, Netherlands

The Data Stewardship Interest Group meets every two months in person at the beginning of the DTL Programmers meeting. The aim of the Interest Group is to establish a community hub for Data Stewardship that enables informal and inclusive knowledge and experience exchange by:

Providing a platform for Data Stewards and like-minded in the Netherlands (and abroad) to share the experience.

Fostering the national implementation of Data Stewardship.

Joining efforts to produce hands-on solutions.

The IG is open to everyone that is interested in Data Stewardship and is not limited to a specific academic discipline, nor the Netherlands.

The next two-monthly meeting is organised on 14 June 2019 (9:00 – 10:30h) at the SURF office in Utrecht.

A key enabler to achieve international-grade data stewardship is for research data and information to be published in a ‘FAIR’ manner. Data should be: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. DTL actively promotes FAIR Data Stewardship of life science information.
